C'mon, guys, read the HTTP specification--there's no way for the browser to
send a "stop" signal to the server, because HTTP itself is request/response
oriented. Any new communication from the browser will simply create a new
request/response pair, rather than cancel the old one.
Note that this is not the case for Keep-Alive connections, but most servers
(in my experience) try to avoid those anyway, to allow for better
scalability.
